Dr. Carol Earls
Verified Veterinarian
Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I first taught high school when I graduated from undergraduate school, and quickly learned that being on stage every day in front of 120 teenagers was not my ideal scenario. After some soul searching, I realized being a Veterinarian was what I always wanted to do (my Mom later found 3 x 5 cards with medical records that I kept on all my stuffed animals as a child). With a 3 year old daughter in tow, I went back to Vet school and have never looked back. Of course, love for the animals is the primary focus, but I also love the connections that I have made with the animals' human families over the years. I have enjoyed all aspects of my working career- preventative medicine, surgery, dentistry, as well as euthanasia. But with the veterinary industry as busy as it is right now, the stress of in-clinic euthanasia for the pets as well as their families has become so overwhelming that I now want to focus on making our pets' final times as stress free as possible.

What pet parents are saying
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dr. Earls is lovely, she explains everything in the most compassionate way and takes her time to make sure everything is just the way you want it for you and your pet. Thank you.
Dr. Carol is caring, understanding, and respectful. It was extremely difficult losing our dog but she was able to make it to our house and create an environment for our Coco the go peacefully.
Dr. Carol Earls was very helpful to explain whole process during difficult time. She gave private family time after our Stark was gone and took Stark with respect. May Waheguru bless her. Regards, Gurmit Singh and family

The process in itself was very easy... She called beforehand to verify timing. Showed up and consulted. Was compassionate, caring and understanding. Respectful and patient. For as hard of a time this was for the kids, she made it as easy as you can in this kind of time. I appreciated her respect very much so and would do it this way going forward. Thank you again.
We had an appointment scheduled for an upcoming Friday and we knew Tuesday morning we couldn't wait. Dr. Carol Earls came same day and was so kind and peaceful and caring. She was patient, calmly explained the process to us, answered our questions, and made sure we felt comfortable and not rushed. It was the first time we've used in-home euthanasia services and I honestly wouldn't do it any other way in the future. It was a far more peaceful experience for not just us but our Lilly girl too.
